A few of the apps we have built
For learners
Poincaré Paint
Draw in the hyperbolic disk and watch every stroke tile to infinity, the way Escher’s Circle Limit prints do.
For educators and learners
Digital Student Assistant
An AI teaching assistant that asks before it tells and won’t hand over homework. Yusuf Pisan’s data structures students at UW Bothell use it now.
For learners and educators
Bombe Bench
An Enigma you can open up, and a working Turing-Welchman Bombe that breaks messages from a guessed word.
For learners and educators
Cache Miss Theater
Watch a C loop's memory accesses run through a cache you configure, with every miss labelled.
For small businesses
Health Page Tracker Watch
For therapists, clinics, med spas and wellness studios: every outside tool on your booking, intake and service pages, what it receives, whether its maker signs a BAA, and what is new since last month.

How it works
From a paragraph to a working app
Describe the problem
Email a paragraph: who is stuck, what they do today and what it costs them. We will tell you honestly whether software is the right answer.
A working app in days
A small first version that does the core job, ready for real people to try. Then improvements from what they say.
Use it or own it
Use the app as it is, or take it and make it yours.
Paid projects welcome, interesting ones may be done for free :-)
